Video: Pro-Israel group chief boasts about targeting Francesca Albanese
Hillel Neuer, the executive director of UN Watch, a pro-Israel NGO, speaking at the JNS International Policy Summit, detailed his organisation’s efforts to lobby the US to sanction UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese.
Neuer explained that the sanctions against Albanese were prompted by her remarks about the influence of the "Jewish lobby" in America, as well as her comments regarding the 7 October attacks.
“As you know, I don't have to tell this audience, she has said that America is controlled by the Jewish lobby," he said.
Neuer further emphasized that they played a role in having Albanese's husband demoted from his position at the World Bank, stating, "After she was sanctioned, we got her husband, who works for the World Bank, who shares in her incitement.”
